4-I guide
Lut told them to fear Allah and not disgrace him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What reminder can stop someone from doing wrong?"
Hear the opening minutes of Al-Hijr in Saad Al-Ghamdi's voice, from Noor International.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Lut remind them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why remind people of Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 69. Lut reminded his people of Allah. Remembering Allah stops us from wrong. It is the strongest reminder.
Fact: Find the ayah that says fear Allah and look at what you send ahead (Al-Hashr 59:18).
Ages 5–8: Allah sees. Talk about remembering Allah before acting.
Ages 9–12: Reminder. Write how remembering Allah stops wrong.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah before I act."
Action: Remember Allah before you act.
